Holy Dragon Totem - Chapter 21
Black mist wrapped around the teen, the totem at his brow was like a beast hidden deep within the abyss.
He actually consumed the Heaven Essence Fruit, no one knew what he wanted to do.
After his aura actually climbed up, Su Qianyu couldn’t help but shake his head and laughed.
“You actually want to try to temporarily raise your strength through consuming pills to defeat me. Don’t you know that this will destroy?”
Not only did Su Qianyu think that way, probably everyone thought the same way.
There were indeed people who consumed pills to raise their strength in battle. However they weren’t the same type as the Heaven Essence Fruit and secondly was that the repercussions
were huge.
Only when one was fighting to the death would take such a risk. To do so at other times was a stupid act.
“Who knew that JIang Zizai looked smart but he was actually so stupid!” Jiang Liu shrugged, his hanging heart was totally placed down.
“Qianyu gave him too much time.”
Jiang Shang was a little unhappy. At this time Su Qianyu and him exchanged a glance and understood his thoughts.
“This is a chance to send him to hell. Even if people question just say that Jiang Zizai himself turned crazy.”
Su Qianyu understood and didn’t say any more. He raised his Flying Eagle Sword, stepping down lightly and shooting out like a fully pulled arrow.
Jiang Zizai hollered as he similarly charged over. When he attacked, the crowd was in awe.
“The effects of the Heaven Essence Fruit are so good!”
Looking at how his speed and aura both had a raise, everybody was shocked.
When his sword was actually jolted away by Jiang Zizai’s Fire Dragon Heavy Fist, Su Qianyu was slightly shocked. However that just made him laugh coldly deep down.
“To use such a method, paying the price of future cultivation to deal with me and in the end only eating the dust, how amusing.”
His sword became even more fierce. However the more they fought the more shocked he was. Why did this fellow seem like he had transformed into a monster!
“Su Qianyu!”
Jiang Zizai hollered, that pitch black eyes locking down onto him.
“My surnameis Jiang!” Su Qianyu was furious.
Jiang Zizai didn’t care about what he said.
He punched out fist by fist. Occasionally he would swap over to the Lightning Fist, his eyes were still cold and dark.
“That year I felt that you were pitiful and brought you back.”
“Today you made your own choice. I don’t blame you. We are not destined to be brothers in this life, what a waste.”
“Maybe I was really wrong to make you unhappy with me. Maybe I wasn’t a good enough brother to make you hate me so much. All of it is my fault!”
“However since you are standing on opposite sides as me today, since you want to kill me to walk your glorious path.”
“I have already said our relationship has been broken. Moreover I am going to personally send you to hell!”
“There is no differentiating kindess and evil, no one is at fault here. Only who is stronger right?”
After hearing so much, Su Qianyu said in disdain, “This is all nonsense. What right does a trash like you got to compete with me!”
“That is correct. So when I send you to hell I won’t have any psychological burden.”
Jiang Zizai’s voice was so cold it turned hoarse.
Everything was made clear.
He suddenly opened up his body to allow Su Qianyu to stab in easily, stabbing into his stomach. That Flying Eagle Sword thrusted into his body!
It was only an inch away from the Shenque Acupoint.
It was around the same as when he stabbed Lu Dingxing a few days back.
Everyone exclaimed. This time Jiang Zizai was finished.
Maybe Su Qianyu didn’t expect that Jiang Zizai would lose energy so quickly to let him stab over with one sword.
He relaxed. Now killing Jiang Zizai was as easy as a flip of his palm.
Right as he placed down his guard.
Jiang Zizai grabbed his color!
Since he stabbed his stomach, then naturally he was really close to Jiang Zizai.
The grab of the color brought Jiang Zizai over. When he raised his head and looked at the pitch black eye, he panicked, he knew that it was bad.
Jiang Zizai was doing two actions.
One pull, one punch!
In that instance that he was stabbed, he pulled Su Qianyu’s head over in front of him. The god dragon on his right arm gave out a roar.
Hong!
That fist heavy smashed onto his temple.
Dang!
The power of the fist was so powerful that it smashed his head directly onto the ground.
Kacha!
When he was hit, there was even the sound of cracking bone.
Everything happened so quickly and so violently.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at Jiang Zizai who was covered in blood pulling out the Flying Eagle Sword from his body and holding it in his hand.
“Treat that sword as me compensating you as your brother for not treating you good enough these years.”
He went all out, that sword nearly harmed a lethal point of his body.
In exchange he was able exchange for a crucial fist.
Su Qianyu laid on the ground, only his finger was moving.
In the deathly silence Jiang Zizai flipped open his body. His eyes were white but he still wasn’t dead.
At this moment Jiang Zizai took out a piece of paper from his clothes. The fresh blood on his hand rubbed onto it.
“Monkey this is Huan’er’s last words. She didn’t dare to to leave it for you so she gave it to me.”
Jiang Zizai’s voice was hoarse. Although it wasn’t loud but it attracted everyone’s attention.
Everything happened not according to what they had at mind.
He opened the letter.
Then he gave out a bitter smile as he read it out softly.
“Brother Zizai, my brother is really pitiful and he feels really burdened. Huan’er is not here anymore so you must take care of him.”
“If he is furious and angry then sing to him the song that Huan’er thought you.”
“He is just like that, wanting to do everything to the best. However sometimes he would be so annoying and people would not like him. I hope that Brother Zizai will be able to accept him.”
“This illness can’t be treated. I wanted to repay you to do anything for you and not want anything. I just wanted to serve you for the rest of life, unfortunately my life wasn’t good.”
“Bye, let’s hope that in the next life I can become a happy person.”
When he read to the end Jiang Zizai thought back to that pitiful girl, he choked up.
“Why are you like this? Why can’t you learn from your sister and have a bit of conscience?”
That Flying Eagle Sword reached Su Qianyu’s throat.
He was nearly in hysteria.
This teen covered in blood didn’t drop tears when he fought, only now was his eyes totally red.
Men don’t cry easily.
If it was possible, in this life, he wouldn’t want to stab his brother with the sword.
“Argh!”
Only at this moment did Su Qianyu rolled his eyes back.
“What do you know! If one doesn’t work for oneself the Heavens would forsake him!”
Su Qianyu coughed, staring right at him. He still wanted to climb up to fight.
“You can’t defeat me, this is fake!”
Su Qianyu struggled. Wasn’t his skull already shattered.
“Have you seen the words?”
Su Qianyu didn’t know that a will had existed.
When those graceful words were placed out in front of him did his eyes open wide and lay down softly onto the ground.
“Huan’er…”
Su Qianyu hugged his head and cried out in pain.
“Jiang Zizai this will can’t be a proof! You caused her death! You, the son of the Purple Qilin King couldn’t even cure such a small illness! You did it on purpose! You killed her, I will take revenge for her!”
He struggled on the ground, his eyes red as he stared at Jiang Zizai, thinking about climbing up.
“I am going to kill you! Kill you!”
He was like that of a wild beast because his brain was injured badly. Even the movements of his limbs couldn’t be coordinated. There was a leg that couldn’t be moved.
Even if he didn’t die, being such a heavy fist would probably end his cultivation life.
“There is also one more sentence.”
Jiang Zizai’s fingers were trembling as he pointed at the bottom of the letter.
“If my brother does anything wrong to you, please let him live. Huan’er is unable to repay you in this life and I can only promise to be your servant in my next.”
Jiang Zizai laughed, “Your sister really understands you.”
They spent a longer time together so Su Qianhuan was able to listen to more of his unhappiness.
He wanted to kill him.
Since Lu Dingxing was injured he was filled with killing intent, until that last fist landed cleanly.
However this final sentence made Jiang Zizai struggle.
Su Qianyu had already lost. It was a total defeat, he lost everything.
How could he still not care about the final wishes of that little girl…
At this point everything became clear.
He felt that he should follow it.
Even if Su Qianyu was hysterical, he didn’t care.
“Take care of you baby.”
He threw the Flying Eagle Sword in front of Su Qianyu.
He thought back to how the present he worked so hard for three months to purchase was actually tossed away.
He turned around and returned to Ruohua.
“Jiang Zizai!” Suddenly he called out.
Jiang Zizai turned around.
Su Qianyu picked up the Flying Eagle Sword, proudly raising his head.
“You remember, I didn’t lose to you! You piece of trash don’t have the ability to defeat me!”
“I only lost to myself.”
He suddenly held the sword horizontally on his throat, laughing out loud with bloody tears.
“I only miss Huan’er. I just want to go accompany her…”
Puchi!
Instantly, slit his own throat, falling to the ground.
He didn’t move anymore.
Su Qianyu killed himself.
Jiang Zizai trembled.
It seemed like there was something stuck in his throat. It felt really uncomfortable but he was unable to spit it out.
It was all sour and bitter.
There was probably no winner today.
Everyone was sad.
He trembled and walked up, tossing aside the Flying Eagle Sword and carrying Su Qianyu’s corpse.
“Mother help me prepare a coffin.”
How would Jiang Shang and the others give Su Qianyu a proper funeral?
He said he missed Huan’er so that was him asking Jiang Zizai to bury them two together.
Ruohua wasn’t happy. She wasn’t the winner either. She immediately ordered people to do it. Very quickly the coffin was sent up.
Actually everyone stopped paying attention to Su Qianyu long ago.
The dead will always be forgotten.
Now people will only look at Jiang Zizai respectfully.
No one would believe it if someone said that he wasn’t the next Jiang Junjian.
Even if the method he used to defeat his opponent was really extreme, however he still won, that was something that was really inconceivable.
Now Ruohua was swiftly using spiritual medicine to heal his wounds. A sword piercing through the body wasn’t a small matter.
“If my guesses are correct that Black Snake Totem is actually the Xuan Grade Black Dragon Totem!”
“Dragon, That is the Yanlong Emperor Race!”
“Maybe the legacy changed. After all dragons and Qilin are really similar.”
“No wonder. No wonder he was able to grasp Dragon Travelling Step and Fire Dragon Heavy Fist in such a short time.”
“This Jiang Zizai is really a late bloomer! He only obtained a Life Totem at fifteen but he was actually so strong.”
Everyone was in deep discussion.
“So Su Qianyu’s word’s about her sister was probably him slandering her.”
“One could tell from their final conversation.”
“This Su Qianyu is such a terrifying white eye wolf. In the end for him to kill himself in guilt showed that he knew how shameless he was.”
“Speaking of which Jiang Zizai didn’t argue at the start and didn’t kill him at the end. He might look like a rich playboy but he actually pays attention to Brotherhood.”
“His ability to keep calm is too strong.”
“Today his name will probably shake the entire Great Jiang Prefecture.”
“A talent rising up, coincidentally it happened after Purple Qilin King and Jiang Junjian got into trouble. If not for him Purple Qilin Manor would be in huge trouble.”
“Speaking of which Purple Qilin Manor has managed to protect the Five Bloodline Gathering?”
“Just looking at the expression of Jiang Shang and we know the full story.”
The victor is king and the loser is a bandit.
After the truth was out, all rumors were broken without much effort.
Jiang Zizai finally understood what Purple Qilin King meant by how time will gives all answers.
Now time had given the answer.
“I am too heavily injured, I forfeit the final!”
While he was healing he had already announced.
What was next was Lu Dingxing against Ruo Xiaoyue. Then the victor would fight for first against Jiang Zizai.
The reason they did that was because the first would directly enter God Worshipping Hall.
The second and third would have to go through a test.
So he wanted to let Lu Dingxing or Ruo Xiaoyue enter directly. As for him, he had confidence to pass the test.
“Boss you can’t do that. If you do that I’ll give up too.”
Lu Dingxing was stunned, he was also caught off guard.
He was too kind and actually wasn’t willing to let Su Qianyu die.
Now he was standing beside the coffin
He wanted to speak but he stopped.
“Okay, let Xiaoyue be first and let us take the test.” Jiang Zizai didn’t bother much about that point.
Now that Su Qianyu had lost, they could freely decide their positions.
Lu Dingxing acted like he was weaker than Ruo Xiaoyue, then due to Jiang Zizai giving up, suddenly Ruo Xiaoyue had became the top of the Qilin Gathering.
However everyone knew who the real champion was.
The Qilin Gathering came to an end.
Actually the moment that Su Qianyu lost, the faces of the three bloodlines were extremely ugly.
Jiang Shang, Jiang Liu, Jiang Ling were standing still like a wooden puppet.
They had totally failed.
They didn’t get anything from the Qilin Gathering. Instead someone like Jiang Zizai who had a limitless future came out from the Purple Qilin Manor.
If Jiang Zizai cultivated to the Saint Body Realm, he would directly be coronated and would become the new Purple Qilin King.
Jiang Junduo and Jiang Lengqing both hadn’t left. At this time both of them laid together and exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
“Why, it is impossible…” Jiang Junduo’s voice trembled.
“Brother Qianyu, died…” Needless to mention about Jiang Lengqing, she cried right away.
“Why are you crying!” Jiang Ling scolded out. She was in a bad mood, “He is just an outsider, if he died then he died. It is useless!”
Jiang Lengqing cried even more.
“However we have already slept…”
“What did you say! Shut up!”Jiang Ling went crazy with rage.
She had instructed her that before they were married not to fool around. Now this was good. Su Qianyu was dead and she said that in front of everyone. If this was spread out her reputation would be ruined.
With the current societal atmosphere, Jiang Lengqing could forget about marrying others in the future.
“I don’t know, wa!”
“Sister Ling don’t scold her. No one expected it. Today we have totally lost.” Jiang Shang’s face turned cold.
Actually his heart was dripping blood. This was such a good chance.
Now Jiang Zizai’s reputation had shocked Great Jiang Prefecture. Even without Jiang Yunting and Jiang Junjian, they still had him.
Once he entered the Saint Body Realm and the new king was coronated then he wouldn’t have a say anymore.
To him, Jiang Zizai’s future was even more terrifying then the defeat today.
This made him who was always really calm to be in a daze.
As for Jiang Liu, he cursed out for a long while. Now he wanted to kill anyone that he saw.
“Those elders who were neutral now lean towards him.”
It directly crushed the flames of fury in Jiang Liu’s stomach.
The people around were all terrified, especially when they heard about the Black Dragon Totem.
At this time, Jiang Yuan had already announced the top three of the Qilin Gathering.
Due to Su Qianyu killing himself, the fourth spot was vacant.
There was a total of ten people who had the rights to enter Yanlong Xu to join a learning manor there.
When Jiang Shang heard the announcement, he clenched his fists. He looked towards Jiang Zizai who was sitting on the ground and meditating.
He saw it.
“This person actually opened up a Spiritual Orifice during the battle!”
“Is the son of the Purple Qilin King so scary once he awakens…”
“I don’t believe that without your father’s protection that you can live to the Saint Body Realm!”
Jiang Shang’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
However he smiled. Now that Jiang Yuan had announced the official end of the Qilin Gathering, he laughed out loud.
“Manor Head Jiang what is the happy news?” Jiang Yuan asked expressionlessly.
Jiang Shang nodded his head and said, “There is indeed a happy news. I heard that an esteemed guest from Yanlong Xu has arrived in the city. Fellow Qilin King Race children let’s welcome him together.”
His sudden words made everyone confused.
However when Jiang Liu and Jiang Ling heard that they were surprised, they couldn’t help but smiled.
They threw a provocative gaze towards Ruohua.
Ruohua fronwed, who was it that gave them such confidence.
At this time Jiang Shang hollered into the distance.
“Great Jiang Prefecture, Qilin King Race, welcome the Emperor Race Envoy, West Guarding Top General, Nangong Que!”
The voice spread out far and wide.
Nangong Que was the Emperor Race envoy and was also the extremely famous West Guarding Top General. His title was even higher than that of Lu Yuan and Jiang Junjian.
When she heard the name Ruohua’s frown got even deeper.
Jiang Zizai opened his eyes and said, “Didn’t this person fight with dad when he was young and forced to kneel and beg?”
Of course he recognised the general. He was considered powerful in the Yanlong Emperor Dynasty but he couldn’t compare to the Purple Qilin King.
Ruohua said, “It is him but now is different from before. There is only the two of us and he also has the identity of the Emperor Race envoy. He is sent over by the emperor…”
The meaning was totally different.
SUch a person would obviously bring with it huge problems.
As expected the moment Jiang Shang said that, a laughter spread out from the distance. That laughter was originally far away but in a blink of an eye it got close.
Jiang Zizai saw that there was actually a middle aged man who had a pair of giant golden wings!
The wings were illusionary shadows but it allowed him to fly in the air. In a blink of an eye he reached the sky above everyone.
This person wore a dark green armor, his hair was messy and his mostache was unkempt. His body made one feel like he was a barbarian from the streets. He even held a huge wine flask. His face was flushed red, it was obvious that he was a drunkard.
However on that hair filled face, his eyes were golden like that of an eagle. No matter who it was that was stared at by him, one would feel a chill down their spine.
He was the West Guarding Top General Nangong Que. He also came from the Roc Race.
This time his identity was as the Emperor Race envoy.
“As expected the South Country has huge amounts of beauties. However the most beautiful is still Ruohua.”
The middle aged man Nangong Que had just arrived and he used a fiery gaze to look at Queen Ruohua.
He didn’t even bother about the smiles on Jiang Shang and the others’ faces.
He flew up in the air, giving off a feeling like a ruler descending down on Earth. His aura would cause normal people to tremble.
“Purple Qilin King this dumbass gave up on such a beauty, actually betraying the country. Queen Ruohua do you feel lonely recently?”
Nangong Que’s reputation in the Yanlong Dynasty was extremely bad. However he had a huge race behind him, power surging into the heavens. His strength was also relatively top grade, no one could do anything about him.
There were numerous amounts of people who were killed by him and girls who were raped by him.
To send such a person over to Great Jiang City, what was the Yanlong Emperor doing?
Naturally Ruohua hated this person to the core.
“Nangong Que you are just using the time when he is not here to dare to cause trouble over here. If you have the ability why not say it to his face? Who was the one who knelt in front of him that year and called him grandfather?”
Queen Ruohua wasn’t so easily bullied.
However this Nangong Que wasn’t an easy person to handle too.
He was actually not angry, instead he smiled, “So what? Does he dare return? To abandon his wife and kids, everyone looks down on him.”
He drank a mouthful of wine and kept his smile. Suddenly his face turned solemn, “Listen up, I am West Guarding Top General, Emperor Race envoy Nangong Que! This time I came over with a decree to investigate the matter of Huangtian Pass to investigate the accomplices of that traitor! I have the power to behead first before investigating!”
As expected the Yanlong Emperor was behind his back. This made it even tougher to deal with such a shameless fellow.
He laughed, looking at Ruohua with fiery eyes, “As for beauty Ruohua, you are the most suspicious person! If you can treat me more gently, I would be able to show a little more mercy.”
The moment he said that, everyone was silenced.
As expected the Yanlong Emperor wanted to investigate it. Moreover he sent Nangong Que.
He was representing the Yanlong Emperor at every moment. If he targeted the Purple Qilin Manor then that would be a tough problem.
The key was how could he not target the Purple Qilin Manor? He would never forget the humiliation that he received that year.
“Of course we have a whole lot of time so let’s have fun slowly. If you treat me well and I am happy then I might not find problems with your family right?”
After he said that he laughed out loud while drinking.
“Brothers come up!”
A shaking sound spread out from the ground at the Origin God Altar. There was actually a bunch of people who galloped in. Some of the crowd was unable to dodge and were directly knocked into, dying on the spot.
This was his army. They were the elites of the West Guarding Army. The mounts they rode were all source beast Ghost Fire Horses.
The pitch black horses were half a size taller than normal horses. They were extremely huge, their eyes red in color. The hair on their hooves burnt with a red flame. They just came in and were exhaling, giving off a shocking sight.
The soldiers on it were all Xuan Bloodline Realm and above.
Jiang Zizai didn’t expect that amongst this group he was able to see many people from the Qilin King Race.
For example Jiang Yuan’s children who were studying at Yanlong Xu- Jiang Junyuan and Jiang Yunxing.
For example Fire Manor Head Jiang Shang’s real son, the champion of the Qilin Gathering last year, sixteen year old Jiang Junxie!
This was the top talent who defeated all opponents in the Qilin Gathering last year. He awakened a Xuan Grade Totem and was given an evolution source by Jiang Shang, allowing it to evolve to Earth Grade. Which meant that his starting point was basically that of an Earth Grade Totem.
He could be considered a presence only lower than that of Jiang Junjian over the past years.
Of course one of them was a person who Jiang Junjian was most concerned about.
His sister, the one who people called the top beauty of Great Jiang Prefecture, Jiang Yunning.
She was surrounded by the bunch of West Guarding Army troops, looking really pitiful.
Only when seeing Ruohua did her nervous heart relax a little.
Nangong Que looked at them and said loudly, “No one is able to escape responsibility for Huangtian Pass! So I have brought all the Qilin King race members at Yanlong Xu back to be investigated one by one. Anyone suspicious will be sent into the jail!”
Many people shivered under his majestic aura.
